Above the Great Dao

There was also a hole in her navel, with a slightly larger silver bell hanging from it.

Her name was You Fei.

Another person from the Ghost Mother Clan, a four-legged and eight-armed woman holding several ghost babies and followed by a swarm of ghost dolls.

Her name was Yan Wu.

Aside from them, there were young elites from various clans such as Gou Xi of the Blade Labor Clan, You Huan of the Turtle Dragon Clan, and Chi Zun of the Fire Demon Clan.

"These little bull hooves are in the springtime of their lives."

Gou Xi glanced at Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu and chuckled, "They'll mess around on the ground for a bit, then mate in the wild, and next year there'll be little calves born."

You Fei giggled, "How can two little bull calves have baby calves?"

Wen Wuyu blushed, hid behind Chen Shi, and peeked out.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun said, "Having little Bull Heads is a good thing, then next year there'll be another beast to pay taxes. Little Bull Head, do you know if there are any immortals nearby?"

Chen Shi hesitated, but Wen Wuyu had already nodded repeatedly, speaking crisply, "I know!"

"Lead the way," Crown Prince Xiang Kun said.

Wen Wuyu winked at Chen Shi, and the two little Bull Heads led the way in front. Chi Zun of the Fire Demon Clan said, "Is there really an immortal appearing here?"

"Yes."

Crown Prince Xiang Kun said, "My father went to seek this immortal, and as a result, he unexpectedly died. The immortal light on his corpse was a kind of immortal technique. This immortal technique has incredible power, and even someone as powerful as my father couldn't resist it in the slightest!"

He shuddered at the thought of Xiang Fu, the King's corpse.

Xiang Fu was the most powerful being in the Heavenly Pond Country, yet he died as miserably as a slaughtered beast!

Yan Wu, soothing the crying ghost babies in her arms, suddenly smiled, "Your Highness, your purpose in seeking the immortal this time isn't that simple, is it?"

Crown Prince Xiang Kun's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "What purpose could I have?"

Yan Wu leisurely said, "A few days ago, you watched Chen Shi and that girl battle on the Heavenly Pond, and after that, you became keen on finding the immortal. I thought you were scared by Chen Shi."

Crown Prince Xiang Kun snorted, "His strength is only so-so. How could I be scared of him? My bloodline power has already awakened to the sixth layer, six layers of bloodline power. Apart from the clan elders and clan leaders, I fear no ghost clan masters!"

More than a dozen people, all top young experts from various clans, heard this and sneered, not convinced.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun said, "Chen Shi has no bloodline power. Although his strength isn't weak, he's far inferior to me! If I ascend to the throne, each clan will offer the most precious divine blood, which can awaken my bloodline to the ninth layer, making me invincible in the world! What does Chen Shi have? He doesn't even have a real physical body, so why should he be the king?"

You Huan said, "Did Your Highness not see the Blood Lake behind his head during his battle with that girl? That's Blood Lake Hell! He's practicing a lost cultivation technique of our Ghost Clan. This alone is enough for him to be the king of our Ghost Clan! I've heard from the clan leader that Chen Shi is the one in the ballads who is said to be our savior!"

Crown Prince Xiang Kun laughed and interrupted, "An outsider would be our savior? You Huan, as long as we find the immortal, and the immortal teaches us the lost language, we will be the heroes who save the Ghost Clan, not this outsider Chen Shi!"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Gou Xi sighed, "I realized after watching that day when Chen Shi battled with that girl that I probably can't contend for the position of king against Chen Shi. His strength is already close to the clan elders who have awakened the seventh layer of bloodline. And I am only at the sixth layer."

The group fell silent.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun also felt a bit sad. The day after Chen Shi defeated Wen Wuyu, all the experts from the Eastern Palace scattered, leaving completely. These ghost gods might support him as king, but only if he had the qualifications of strength to be king. Ghost Country respects strength, and since his strength was inferior to Chen Shi's, these ghost gods looked down on him, so they fled.

Suddenly, Crown Prince Xiang Kun angrily said, "Move faster, you two little things!"

Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu hurriedly quickened their pace.

Wen Wuyu whispered, "They admire you very much."

Chen Shi lowered his voice and said, "I beat you, do you admire me?"

Wen Wuyu sneered, "No admiration. I just lost because I was one move short. I didn't use my full strength, that's why I lost to your Spirit Banner's Ten Absolute Formation. If I had used my full strength, humph..."

Chen Shi smiled without speaking.

Wen Wuyu, seeing his expression, felt both angry and anxious, and attempted to grab his tail; Chen Shi wrapped his tail around his waist, leaving her grasping at air.

Wen Wuyu reached out to grab, but Chen Shi dodged and tried to grab her tail.

Wen Wuyu clamped her tail between her buttocks groove and laughed, "You can't catch it!"

The two of them played and tussled, moving forward along the way.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun and others, seeing this scene, smiled but each shook their head.

The Right Concubine smirked and said, "I suppose spring has arrived; even the breeze carries a scent of passion."

Not long after, Wen Wuyu brought them to a mountain hollow. Passing through this hollow, a split mountain peak appeared before them, and among the peak floated an Immortal Palace, radiating gentle light, with massive black chains binding it.

Chen Shi couldn't help but be stunned, "So there really are Immortals!"

The Immortal Palace floated as if it did not belong to this world; as soon as the chains are released, it will ascend and depart.

"Caught your tail!" Wen Wuyu grabbed his tail, and exclaimed fiercely.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun, the Right Concubine, and the Ghost Gods looked over with strange expressions.

Wen Wuyu's face flushed with embarrassment, and though she had transformed into a small bull-headed ghost, she could not hide her shyness. She slowly released Chen Shi's tail, thinking to herself, "Fortunately, I turned into a bull-headed ghost, otherwise I would have had to kill the ghost to silence it."

The Right Concubine couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, don't kill them to silence them; it's amusing."

Crown Prince Xiang Kun also felt compassionate and said, "Forget it, let them live. Let's go, the Immortal is more important!"

Dozens of Ghost Gods moved forward first, towards the split mountain range.

Chen Shi was still gazing at the brilliant Immortal Palace bathed in Immortal Light, his tail unconsciously tapping his buttocks, and suddenly said, "Wuyu, I've seen something similar in the Mortal World."

Wen Wuyu said, "You mean how a mountain could suddenly appear on a plain overnight in the Mortal World, with a temple on it? You've seen such a thing?"

Chen Shi nodded, "Yes. I've also seen a mountain split open, revealing a Divine's hall inside."

Wen Wuyu's eyes sparkled, "These are all rebellious groups, targets that my Despair Slope must eliminate! If you encounter such things again, tell me, and I will remove these temples!"

Chen Shi shook his head, "You're wrong; they are Divine beings from China, guardians of the people, not rebels."

Wen Wuyu met his gaze and argued, "They disturb people's beliefs, confuse their minds, act in the name of false gods, committing rebellion! They are rebels!"

Chen Shi matched her gaze, "The world is vast, the human heart is vast! Protecting the people, answering their calls, winning the hearts of the people, they are not rebels!"

The two were at an impasse.

After a moment, Chen Shi was somewhat disappointed, and said softly, "Perhaps we've both turned into little bull-headed ghosts, making me mistakenly think you and I are the same kind of people. I'm sorry, I forgot you hail from Despair Slope. We are ultimately not the same; I am the rebel in your eyes."

They both averted their gaze.

Wen Wuyu stood beside him, looking at the distant Immortal Palace in the split mountain range, and after a moment of silence, said, "After I returned to Despair Slope with my master, I haven't had any friends. Chen Shi, you are my last friend."

Chen Shi also watched the Immortal Palace in the mountain range, his tail unconsciously tapping his buttocks.

Wen Wuyu quietly used the tip of her tail to hook his tail tip, but Chen Shi flicked her tail away.

Wen Wuyu hooked it again, and Chen Shi flicked once more but didn't shake it off, so he gave up struggling.

Just then, a roar came from near the distant Immortal Palace, "Damn it, there's an ambush from the Feather Kingdom! Let's fight them!"

Chen Shi's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Let's go take a look too!"

Wen Wuyu nodded, and the two little bull-headed figures stealthily parted their tails and dashed towards the Immortal Palace.
